Definitions

  • FIG. 6 is a flowchart to show an example of simulation processing performed by the control unit according to the embodiment.
  • FIG. 7 is a flowchart to show an example of memory allocation processing performed by the control unit according to the embodiment.
  • the memory management unit 14 records the maximum value of the memory size required for the print processing in the simulation (which will be hereinafter referred to as “maximum size”). That is, the memory management unit 14 records the maximum memory size of the memory sizes checked in the print processing and outputs the recorded maximum size to the output unit 13 .
  • the memory management unit 14 determines the recommended addition size based on least one of the maximum size, the wait size, or the enlarged used size recorded in the simulation. That is, for example, the memory management unit 14 determines the recommended addition size exceeding the difference between the maximum size, the memory size resulting from adding the wait size to the maximum size, or the enlarged used size and the default size of the target printer, and displays the recommended addition size on the display of the terminal 3 (S 113 in FIG. 6 ).
  • the memory management unit 14 displays a message indicating memory shortage on the terminal 3 (S 311 ); if the retained data contains specific data (YES at S 312 ), the memory management unit 14 switches the processing to the retry mode and instructs the simulation performing unit 12 to again perform simulation from the beginning.
